STICK-PIN SETTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 1, 1905.

Application filed December 21, 1903. vSerial No. 185,970.

To all whom it may concern: f

Be it known that I, LOUIS E. SADLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stick-Pin Settings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improvement in settings used to secure imitation spherical jewels, such as imitation pearls, to

stick-pins.

Imitation pearls are usually made in the form of a thin fragile hollow globe having a small aperture. They are secured 'to the pin by a wire which enters the globe through the aperture and is secured in the interior of the globe by cement. In this construction the globes are easily loosened or broken, depending, as they do, entirely on the wire, which exerts a breaking force from the interior of the globe.

The object of my invention is to more firmly secure an imitation pearltto a stick-pin than has heretofore been done, and I accomplish this object by constructing a setting to conform with the spherical exterior of the globe forming the imitation pearl and having a coiled wire secured in the interior of the hollow globe by cement or other means.

My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of a setting for securing imitation pearls to stick-pins, said setting being constructed to conform to the spherical exterior of the hollow globe forming the imitation pearl and having a coiled wire adapted to secure the pearl to the setting, two rearwardly-extending points which enter the fabric'and prevent an accidental upward movement of the pin, an auxiliary setting, and means for securing the setting to a pin, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is a face view of a stick-pin embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the stick-pin, showing my improved setting conformingto the spherical exterior of the hollow globe forming the imitation pearl. Fig. 3 is a view looking at the back of the setting, showing the points on the setting, the auxiliary setting, and the upper end of the pin broken away. Fig. LLis a sectional View taken on line X X of Fig. l, showing the con- ,struction of the setting; and Fig. 5 is a top view of the setting, showing the rearwardlyextending points and the coiled wire forming a part of the setting.

In the drawings, a indicatesl the pin, b the setting, and c the imitation pearl consisting of a thin hollow globe having the aperture c'. The pin a has the usual point a and is secured at the upper end a2 to the setting b by solder or other means. The setting b is shaped to conform with the spherical exterior of the hollow globe forming the imitation pearl c and has the upwardly-extending arm the two rearwardly-extending points b2 b2, the downwardly-extending arm b3, enlarged at the end to form the auxiliary setting b4 for the jewel b5, and the coiled wire b, secured to the setting centrally in a position to enter the interior of the imitation pearl 0 through the aperture c, where it is secured by the cement c2, as shown in Fig. 4.

The coiled wire is rigidly secured to the setting in any well-known way and with the cement holds the imitation pearl firmly against the spherical concave surface of the setting. The points b2 b2 extend backward and slightly upward. When in use, thesepoints are forced into the fabric in which the stick-pin is used to prevent an accidental upward movement of the pin in the fabric and loss of the' pin. It is evident that theauxiliary setting b* and the jewel b5 may be of any shape or kind desired and may be used or not in connection with the setting b without materially aecting the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination with a stick-pin, of a Setting having the upwardly-extending arm Z/,the downwardly-extending arm b3, and the rearwardly-extending points, the arms andv points being formed integral with the` setting, the jewel, and an opencoiled wire secured to the setting and adapted to support the jewel on the setting, substantially as described'.

2. A stick-pin setting constructed to have two rearwardly extending points, an upwardly-extending arm, adownwardly-extending arm forming an auxiliary setting, and a coiled wire secured to the setting, said setting being Shaped to conform to a spherical body, as described.
